Chain Link Fence Installation in Woodinville, WA
Chain link is the most practical fencing option for large properties, commercial sites, and utility areas. It goes up fast, holds up for decades, and costs significantly less per foot than wood or vinyl. If you need to enclose a big area without breaking the budget, this is almost always the right call.
Chain link isn’t just a budget choice — it’s the right choice for specific situations. Large lots, commercial perimeters, storage yards, dog runs, sports courts, and utility enclosures. Anywhere you need a secure, low-maintenance boundary that can take a beating.
Residential vs. Commercial Grade
Not all chain link is the same. The wire gauge determines how heavy and durable the fence is — and choosing the right one matters.
11-Gauge — Residential
Standard residential grade. Good for most backyard and property-line applications.
9-Gauge — Heavy Duty
Heavier and more rigid. Better for dog runs, sports courts, and higher-security needs.
6-Gauge — Commercial
Commercial and industrial grade. Used for perimeter security, government facilities, and high-traffic areas.
Galvanized vs. Black PVC
Standard chain link comes galvanized — a zinc coating that resists rust and holds up well in wet climates like ours. For most utility or commercial applications, galvanized is the standard choice.
If appearance matters — a backyard dog run, a sports court, or a fence visible from the street — black PVC-coated chain link is a cleaner, more attractive option. The dark color recedes visually and gives a sharper look without adding much cost.

Galvanized chain link is designed for exactly this wet, mild-temperature environment. Installed correctly with quality hardware, it resists our climate for decades.
20–30 Year Lifespan
Washington’s wet winters aren’t kind to cheap steel — but properly galvanized or coated chain link lasts 20 to 30 years with essentially zero maintenance.
Posts Set in Concrete
Posts set at the correct depth in concrete keep the fence stable on wet or shifting ground — the fences we put in 9 years ago still look exactly as they should.
Right Gauge for the Job
We help you pick the gauge based on what you’re fencing in or out, how much pressure it’ll take, and your budget.

Chain Link Fence FAQ
How much does chain link fence cost per foot in WA?
Installed chain link fence in Washington typically runs between $15 and $35 per linear foot, depending on height, gauge, coating (galvanized vs. PVC), terrain, and gate requirements. Residential 4-foot galvanized comes in at the lower end. Commercial-grade 6-foot black PVC with heavy posts comes in higher. We give you a firm, itemized estimate before any work starts — no surprises on the invoice.
Can chain link fence be installed on a slope?
Yes. Chain link handles slopes better than most fence types. We can either rack the fence to follow the grade (the fabric angles with the slope) or step the fence in sections on steeper terrain. Which method we use depends on the degree of the slope and your preference. We’ll assess this during the estimate and show you what each approach looks like.
What gauge chain link is best for dogs?
For most dogs, 11-gauge is sufficient. For large, active breeds or dogs that push and pull on fencing, we recommend 9-gauge — it’s noticeably stiffer and harder to deform. We also recommend smaller mesh openings (1-3/4 inch instead of 2 inch) for smaller dogs that might squeeze through. If you have a particularly determined escape artist, let us know and we’ll talk through the right setup.
